The drive to the next location in Wise, VA was beautiful. Wise is a small town in the Appalachian mountains near the Kentucky border.
*Trivia- Actor George C. Scott was born in Wise, VA.
Growing up, we saw lots of roads that looked like this. Workmen had to blast through the mountains with dynamite to build roads. While driving here, cell phone, internet, and GPS is very spotty. Luckily, I was able to use the wifi at the library in Wise!I passed through Coeburn, VA and had to take some photos of their downtown.
After driving up a curvy, winding mountain I reached the top and discovered Mountain Rose Vineyards. This vineyard has such an interesting story and it goes to show that dreams do come true!
Suzanne took me on a tour of the facility and I got to see and smell the grapes at work.The weather was perfect to sit outside and enjoy some wine.Mountain Rose VineyardsSuzanne definitely has a green thumb!Wine tasting and with cheese & crackersI had a cold hard apple cider with my dinner and bought a few bottles of wine to take with me.
This was such a peaceful place to stay. No traffic, no noise, no phone, no internet. The hosts couldn’t have been more welcoming and made me feel at home. Thanks Mountain Rose Vineyards!
Hi! I am Christi, a full-time RV traveller since August 2021. I have always loved to travel, but COVID-19 put a stop to that. I was fast approaching 50, my condo was being placed up for sale and I was ready for a major change.
Originally from a tiny town in rural Southwest Virginia, I am the mother to one son and a rescue Shih Tzu, Cappy.
For the last 20 years, I worked in public library systems around the Charlotte & Myrtle Beach areas. I met some amazing people and made great friends along the way.
Follow along on my adventures as I travel the US. I hope that our paths will cross one day!
